First a little about me. I am 16 years old, have been skiing for basically my whole life, but last season was my first season practicing PMTS, I ended up skiing 70+ days (A new record!), and I spent quite a few of those days working through the ACBES 1+2 books. Unfortunately, as it tends to do, summer came, and so I was forced to continue my PMTS adventure on asphalt. I built the DIY model, and now have spent about 10-15 days on them and they seem to be working fairly well, although I wonder how they compare to the other models that used to be sold. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated!
Here are a few videos of me on a fairly steep pitch, one with poles, one without.

And yes I've seen every video that I could find anywhere on the internet of Harb Carvers
